Hawaiʻi Community Foundation Huakaʻi Travel Grants 2026
Issuer: Hawaiʻi Community Foundation (HCF)
Current status: Closed. Hawaiʻi Community Foundation states that the Huakaʻi Travel Grants funding opportunity is now closed. As of August 20, 2026, HCF reported 24 grants awarded totaling $119,065.
Historical deadline structure: The original funding opportunity was structured as rolling until available funds were exhausted, with a published final cutoff of November 30, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. HST. HCF subsequently closed the opportunity early, so it is no longer actionable for new applications or ORIGINAL outreach.
Funding: Awards were up to $5,000 per organization. HCF reports that 24 Huakaʻi Travel Grants totaling $119,065 had been awarded as of August 20, 2026.
Purpose
Huakaʻi Travel Grants supported Hawaiʻi-based organizations with travel costs that increased access to Native Hawaiian cultural experiences, cultural sites, practices, and practitioners.
Eligibility
The opportunity was intended for Hawaiʻi-based organizations whose proposed travel meaningfully supported Native Hawaiian cultural learning and access. Applicants were required to meet HCF’s published organizational and program requirements.
Eligible costs
Historically eligible travel-related expenses included transportation, lodging, registration or admission, and other costs allowed by the controlling HCF funding opportunity. Youth travel was subject to HCF’s published supervision and safety requirements.
Match / cost share
The controlling funding opportunity did not state a fixed mandatory match or cost-share percentage.
Submission
Applications were submitted through the Hawaiʻi Community Foundation online grant portal while the opportunity was open. Because HCF now lists the opportunity as closed, Atlas does not treat the application portal as an active submission path for this funding opportunity.
Atlas assessment
Atlas Grant Fit Score: 70/100

QC Healthcare Fit Score: 10/100 conditional
Dr. Miltie / QC Healthcare direct-vendor opportunity: No.
Atlas note: This opportunity is no longer eligible for new ORIGINAL outreach because HCF has closed it. N9+ is not an appropriate fit for this travel-focused cultural funding opportunity.
